Axios

Why we like it:

We’ve referred to Mike Allen as a “newsletter demigod” or “email automaton” for his incredible volume of production. We’ve also covered him, and his new firm Axios extensively in our deep dive: [The Holy Grail of Email: What analyzing 1,300 Axios emails taught us about](https://hackernoon.com/the-holy-grail-of-email-what-analyzing-1-300-axios-newsletters-taught-us-468c23617406).

Allen perfected the art of the digestible, must-read, industry insider daily newsletter with the Politico Playbook, and has now built the entire Axios company around this ethos. He continues his work, often publishing twice a day (he sent 474 newsletters in the 9 months we analyzed) and remains a must-read for anyone on the beltway or interested in the inside baseball of politics.
